Koch confirmed as Power chairman

Channel Seven presenter David Koch will take over as chairman of financially-struggling Port Adelaide Football Club.

He will replace Brett Duncanson, who announced his intention to stand aside on the same day Matthew Primus was sacked as coach back in August.

Koch has been the Power's number one ticket holder since 2007.

He lives in Sydney but plans to fly to Adelaide each month for the club's board meetings.

"There is no way I underestimate the challenges going forward, but I'm excited because I think that together we can make a difference and have a great impact as we guide the club through an incredibly exciting period," Koch said.

He said he was determined to see Port Adelaide achieve success again on the football field and be financially strong away from it and planned to help boost the Power's national profile.

"It was put to us that Port Adelaide really wasn't that relevant in Melbourne or Sydney. This state deserves two really strong clubs, the football tradition here, and we want to get Port Adelaide back to where it should be," he told reporters.

Koch grew up at nearby Largs Bay in Adelaide.

"I am lucky enough to be a part of a great family tradition of supporting Port Adelaide," he said.

"My extended family, including cousins and their children, are all Port Adelaide people and they go to every game to support Port Adelaide in the outer. That will never change."

Hawthorn assistant coach Leon Cameron has been strongly tipped to get the job of coaching the Power next season, but has also been interviewed by Greater Western Sydney about a coaching position.

Power chief executive Keith Thomas said a decision on Port Adelaide's coaching job was yet to be made.

"We're right at the tail end of the process. I'm hoping that we can make that announcement if not by the end of this week, very early next week," he said.
